We're pretty good at deciding what we want. The harder part is working out why we want it, whether the goal actually belongs to us, and what we need to do today to move towards it.In this episode, I break down my approach to values, goals, strategy and action, exploring the psychology of self-concordance, behavioural activation and motivation, and how I use this framework to create a realistic morning routine when life is already full.I also introduce Weekly Friction, where this week I'm questioning when social media stops being work and starts becoming scrolling.Research: Sheldon, K.

In this episode of PodMD, NAB's Head of Behavioural and Industry Economics and author of the NAB Health insights report, Dean Pearson, will be discussing the 2026 NAB Health Insights Report (Part 2). We discuss the key findings of the report, including the relationship Australians have with health management, the importance of prevention, health statistics across numerous demographics, and more. ⁠⁠2026 NAB Health Insights Report (Part 2)

In April 2024 25-year-old Kennedi Westcarr-Sabaroche was a social media marketer and mother from East London who was found dead in her car being having been strangled and attacked.  Days before her death, Kennedi told a friend she was “on a break” from her relationship with Gogoa Lois Tape. But Tape lured her to meet him under false pretences and strangled her in the driver's seat of her own car—for eight minutes.   Tape was charged with murder, but prosecutors ultimately accepted a guilty plea to the lesser offence of manslaughter by diminished responsibility. He was sentenced to a hospital order under Section 37 of the Mental Health Act with a restriction order under Section 41. This means he will not serve a day in prison.   In this episode, Laura applies her expertise in behavioural analysis to determine whether there were coercive and controlling behaviours prior to Kennedi's death and examines Tepe's post offence behaviour where he confesses to murder.  Did he have clarity of mind and a consciousness of guilt? Did the court get it right? Just five months after sentencing, there was a move to apply for escorted leave for Tape. Linda is aggrieved and shares and why this is not justice.  In this episode Laura and Linda discuss:  Victimology: Kennedi's life and the person she was beyond the headlines;  The antecedents to Kennedi's death;   Behavioural patterns and warning signs that should never be ignored;   The impact of coercive control and escalating abuse;  The family's experience of the investigation and court process;   The intersection of violent offending, mental illness and public safety;  Why victims and families deserve to be heard;  What needs to change to better protect women and prevent future homicides.   #KennediWestcarrSabaroche #CrimeAnalyst #LauraRichards #DomesticAbuse #CoerciveControl #MaleViolence #Femicide #Expert #Analysis #Victimology #HomicidePrevention #TrueCrime #Podcast   Clip   https://www.tiktok.com/@yeamasaphar3/video/7607190671186726166?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc   Support Crime Analyst   If you value these conversations, please follow, rate, and review Crime Analyst wherever you listen to podcasts.

Why do some international courts wield broad authority while others face pushback or fade into irrelevance? The Authority of International Courts: A Behavioural Framework (Hart Publishing, 2026) by Dr. Dana Burchardt provides novel theoretical and empirical insights into this question. It offers a fresh, interdisciplinary perspective on the authority of international courts, drawing from law, political science and behavioural research. It develops, in Part I, a theoretical model and analytical framework for assessing these questions. The model explains how authority relationships between courts and their audiences—such as states, NGOs, individual applicants, and domestic courts—are formed, maintained, or contested. In Part II, the book applies this analytical framework to in-depth case studies of two selected international courts: the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the Economic Community of West African States. These studies not only provide deeper insights into the authority of these courts but also demonstrate how the analytical framework can be applied to other international courts to generate an enhanced understanding of international court authority. The book sheds new light on why some courts enjoy enduring authority and others face pushback, offering powerful tools for understanding the behaviour of international courts and their audiences. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Behavioural expert Grazina Fechner told Ross Stevenson and Russel Howcroft it’s less about intelligence and more about curiosity and growth.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why do start-ups fail? And what if more of those failures are avoidable than we think? There is an enormous mythology around start-ups. Perhaps the biggest is the often-repeated claim that 90% of them fail — as if failure is simply the natural, almost inevitable price of trying to build something new. My guest on this episode of The Decision-Making Studio Podcast is Dr Bernard Bulkin OBE. Bernie spent more than two decades in venture capital, investing in Silicon Valley and London. He's been an angel investor, a founder and a company leader, and has served on boards ranging from start-ups to large public companies. He's also an Emeritus Professorial Fellow at the University of Cambridge and has served as a Vice President of the Energy Institute. And, as his biography rather refreshingly points out, he has also founded, led and invested in companies that have failed. His book is Why Start-Ups Fail: Avoiding the Traps on the Path to Commercial Success. And I think it's a rather counter-cultural business book. Bernie's argument is not that start-ups don't fail. Of course they do. It's that many of the reasons they fail are understandable, and, crucially, avoidable. If you're a founder, or thinking about starting a business, Bernie offers something approaching a masterclass here in why start-ups fail and what can be done differently. But this isn't really a business podcast. The Decision-Making Studio is about decisions and uncertainty. And what interested me in Bernie's work is what happens when you look beneath the start-up context. We talk about engineers and the particular ways they can think about businesses. We talk about money, and why most start-ups need more than they think they do. We get into behavioural science, myths and assumptions, and self-awareness: understanding yourself, your own limitations, and the role that plays in the decisions you make. So yes, this is something of a masterclass in start-ups. But it's also a conversation about something much broader: why failure is not always inevitable, how our own thinking can help create it, and whether, by understanding the traps we repeatedly fall into, we might make better decisions. In start-ups, certainly. But well beyond them too. In this episode (00:03:00) Why do start-ups fail?

New research reveals that small-spotted catsharks -- animals with a remarkable built-in ability to sense electromagnetic fields -- show measurable behavioral changes when exposed to the kind of EMF produced by subsea power cables. In this episode, I break down a 2025 study published in Marine Environmental Research by Hermans and colleagues, which exposed fourteen individual catsharks to field-relevant electromagnetic field levels and tracked their swimming behavior using advanced statistical modeling. The sharks showed no dramatic avoidance response, but they did spend significantly less time actively moving during direct current field exposure -- a subtle but meaningful shift that raises important questions about marine ecosystems and our expanding offshore energy infrastructure. In This Episode Why sharks are uniquely sensitive to electromagnetic fields -- and what that tells us about EMF biology more broadly What the 2025 catshark study actually found, including the difference between AC and DC field effects on behavior Why subtle behavioral changes in wildlife may matter more than dramatic ones -- and what that means for how we study EMF Featured Study Read the full study: From subsea power cable to small-spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicula: Behavioural effects of electromagnetic fields in tank experiments See all studies at shieldyourbody.com/research

Behavioural science meets marketing mishaps back in episode 46 with Phill Agnew. As a specialist in testing what really works in ads, Phill exposes how well intentioned campaigns often push audiences in exactly the wrong direction. He unpacks the idea of negative social proof, where highlighting how many people binge drink, steal from parks or ignore donation prompts can actually signal that this behaviour is normal and acceptable. Phill shares stories from university alcohol campaigns, an American park full of disappearing petrified wood and even the familiar fundraising banner on Wikipedia to show how this plays out in the real world. He then explains how a small shift in wording, audience framing and local proof can dramatically change response rates. For marketers who love data but still rely on gut feel when choosing headlines, this conversation offers a smarter way to use social proof without accidentally encouraging the behaviour you are trying to reduce. Here's the link to the full episode 46.Send us Fan MailIs your strategy still right in 2026?

A new study found that small-spotted catsharks exposed to electromagnetic fields from subsea power cables showed a twenty-five percent reduction in transit time during direct current field exposure -- a subtle but measurable behavioral shift in animals that rely on electromagnetic sensing for survival. In this episode, I break down what a two thousand twenty-five marine biology study tells us about how living organisms respond to artificial electromagnetic fields in their environment. We look at what the researchers found, why elasmobranchs make such a revealing test subject, and what this kind of science means for how we think about EMF and biology more broadly.

What happens when two people who spend their careers thinking about human behaviour meet in a London pub and start complaining about conferences? Apparently, they decide to organise one.Episode SummaryIn this episode I'm joined by David Grosse, founder of behavioural risk advisory firm Behavor, to talk about The Unconvention, an event we're creating together that aims to rethink how conversations about risk, culture and human behaviour actually happen. But this isn't just an episode about an event.David and I explore why organisations continue to treat behavioural risk as a niche topic, despite human decision-making sitting at the heart of almost every organisational failure. We discuss why so many conferences on culture and conduct feel formulaic, why measuring culture through board packs can miss the point entirely, and why stories often reveal far more than statistics ever can.Along the way we touch on Silicon Valley Bank, Plato's Cave, behavioural science, organisational culture, productive discomfort, and why the best events might leave you with fewer certainties than when you arrived.If you're curious about The Unconvention, or simply interested in why we think there has to be a better way to have these conversations, I hope you'll enjoy listening.LinksDavid on LinkedIn David's company Behavor The Unconvention Website and ticketing site.AI-Generated Timestamped summary00:00 – Christian introduces the episode and explains how a conversation in a London pub led to the creation of The Unconvention.02:20 – David shares his journey from chartered accountant and banker to behavioural risk specialist, and explains why human behaviour became the focus of his work.05:30 – Why behavioural risk still isn't taken as seriously as other forms of risk, despite sitting behind so many organisational failures.11:30 – Christian and David discuss what's wrong with many industry conferences, from scripted panels to sponsor-led agendas, and why they rarely change anyone's thinking.18:00 – The conversation turns to culture, governance and why dashboards and board packs can never fully capture human behaviour.24:30 – Stories, rather than statistics alone, often provide the richest insights into how organisations really work.29:00 – The origins of The Unconvention and the principles behind creating an event that deliberately breaks with conference convention35:30 – Why attendees are being invited to help shape the event, and how behavioural thinking has influenced everything from the format to the ticketing model.42:00 – Christian and David discuss what they hope participants will take away: curiosity, productive discomfort and conversations that continue long after the event ends.48:45 – Final details on The Unconvention, where to find David, and the unexpectedly simple story behind the name "Behavor".

In this episode, host Gisela Assis (Nurse, Brazil) is joined by Kristine Talley (Nurse, United States) and Janie Thompson (Nurse, Australia) to discuss a recent review of evidence into lifestyle and behavioral interventions for urinary incontinence in frail older adults. It is based on an article in the Continence journal Volume 13 2025. New research, clinical guidelines or clinical trials were considered since the 7th International Consultation on Incontinence (ICI). It was found that the evidence remains limited in this population group despite the significant impact of urinary incontinence on the frail older adults: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772973725000062  Together, the panel explores the current state of evidence in this important area, highlighting that, despite the significant impact of urinary incontinence on frail older adults, evidence for effective interventions in this population remains limited. The discussion also reflects on implications for clinical practice and future research priorities.

Why is it so hard to stop people playing vides, music or phone calls out loud on public transport — and what does that tell us about changing human behaviour? Show Summary This episode of The Human Risk Podcast is a little different. It is a cross-cast from The Freewheeling Podcast, hosted by Thomas Ableman, in which I join Thomas to tackle a problem raised by the show's most important listener: his mum.The issue? People using phones, videos, music and speaker calls out loud on trains and buses. What begins as a seemingly small transport etiquette problem quickly becomes a much bigger conversation about social norms, antisocial behaviour, customer experience, incentives, enforcement and the limits of signage. In our discussion, we explore why simply telling people to stop may not work, how reactance can make things worse, and why transport operators need to think more creatively about behaviour change.Along the way, we consider quiet carriages, “electronic entertainment carriages”, cheap headphones, better-targeted messaging, staff intervention, social media campaigns and the wider question of whether public transport operators are responsible for the behaviour of the humans they carry.The Freewheeling Podcast The Freewheeling Podcast  is a show for transport change-makers. It explores how we can move forwards faster, bringing listeners fresh voices, new ideas and unconventional thinking.While it has a strong focus on transport and mobility, the show also ranges into entrepreneurship, politics, public policy, cities and how systems can be designed to work better for the people who use them.Links The Freewheeling Podcast - https://www.freewheeling.info/the-freewheeling-podcastThomas on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomasableman/

You've read the productivity books. You've optimised your mornings. But what if the whole thing is backwards? Self-improvement content is everywhere, yet it almost universally focuses on extracting more value from yourself. This episode flips that. Drawing on behavioural psychology and a surprisingly useful analogy about cells and organs, Sam makes the case that the most effective thing you can do for your own growth is to become genuinely useful to the people around you. Not as a strategy. As a mindset. The inversion is simple: stop asking what moves you forward and start asking what moves others forward. Turns out, they're the same question. Why connection is as fundamental a skill as walking or talking How organisations actually hold together — and what that means for you Why kindness isn't soft advice; it's the core engine of sustainable success If the self-improvement content you've consumed hasn't quite stuck, this one might be the missing piece.

What if the best way to improve cybersecurity — or any other form of human risk — wasn't another policy, training course, or piece of technology, but a board game?  That's the kind of question my guest, Jill Wick, loves asking.Episode Summary Jill is a cybersecurity awareness consultant, business psychologist, podcaster, and author. Her work sits at the intersection of psychology, marketing, behavioural science, and cybersecurity, and she is passionate about helping organisations understand that security is fundamentally a human challenge, not simply a technical one. Drawing on her experience in fraud prevention and her academic background in business psychology, Jill explains why traditional approaches to awareness often fail, why experimentation matters, and how a simple Snakes and Ladders-inspired game can create meaningful conversations about risk and decision-making. The discussion ranges far beyond cybersecurity. We explore creativity, curiosity, communication, organisational culture, social media, learning, and the challenge of measuring success when the outcome you're seeking is something that doesn't happen.

About the Guest Carly Hunt is the Head of Strategic Partnerships of Showerkap, a UK-based water technology company tackling excessive water consumption in the hospitality sector. With over 20 years in hotel management — latterly focused on energy, waste, and water reduction programmes — Carly brings rare operational depth to the sustainability challenge she's now helping to solve. Her academic background in sustainable tourism (the subject of her university dissertation) makes her return to this space something of a full-circle moment. Episode Summary Water scarcity might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you book a hotel room, but it probably should be. In this episode of Shape the System, host Vincent Turner sits down with Carly Hunt, Head of Strategic Partnerships of Showerkap, to explore how the hospitality industry is one of the heaviest — and least scrutinised — consumers of fresh water on the planet. Hotels can use up to eight times more water than local residents, with individual rooms consuming as much as 1,500 litres per day. Meanwhile, the UK's Environment Agency is forecasting a potential shortfall of 1.4 billion litres per day by 2030, rising to 5 billion by 2050. The numbers are stark, and Carly makes the case that demand reduction — not just supply management — has to be part of the answer. Carly's entry into this space came through two decades of hotel management, where she discovered that energy and waste were relatively easy to monitor and reduce, but water was almost impossible to measure at any meaningful resolution. That gap led her to Showerkap, the brainchild of inventor Steve Harding, which combines three elements that have never previously been integrated in the water sector: fixture-level IoT monitoring across an entire building, a cloud-based analytics platform, and a novel shower fade timer that delivers a real-time behavioural nudge — without restricting flow. The pilot results, run across one floor of the Sandman Hotel at Gatwick Airport, were striking. Prior to the intervention, guests were showering for 35 minutes or more — consuming around 245 litres per session. After the shower fade timer was introduced (set to seven minutes), average shower duration across the 20-room eco-floor dropped to just three minutes and 20 seconds. Overall water usage fell by 58%, energy use by 14%, and the projected saving across the full hotel is approximately 2.7 million litres per year. Of the guests who stayed across nearly a year of the pilot, only three declined to participate in the eco-floor — a participation rate that Carly and Vincent calculate at roughly 99%. The commercial case is deliberately straightforward: Showerkap is targeting a two-year payback period, meaning hotels can effectively finance the installation against the savings it generates. Beyond the headline water and energy savings, the technology surfaces hidden operational value — the Sandman pilot uncovered hot water circulation issues throughout the building and enabled early detection of Legionella risk. The go-to-market strategy currently leans on pilots and case studies to build trust in a space where water has historically been undervalued, with an eye toward expansion into the Mediterranean, MENA, and other water-scarce markets. An upcoming back-of-house research piece, potentially in partnership with the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance, is expected to extend Showerkap's evidence base well beyond the bathroom. Key Takeaways Hotels use up to eight times more water per person than local residents, with some rooms consuming up to 1,500 litres per day — making demand reduction in hospitality a high-leverage intervention. Showerkap's pilot at the Sandman Hotel, Gatwick, achieved a 58% reduction in shower water usage and cut energy consumption by 14%, with average shower times dropping from 35+ minutes to under three and a half minutes. The technology's payback period is approximately two years, making it financeable against projected savings — a critical threshold for hotel procurement teams weighing up an unfamiliar category. Behavioural nudges, not flow restrictions, drive the results: the shower fade timer gives guests a gentle cue and the option to continue, yet the vast majority choose to reduce — suggesting most water waste is habitual rather than intentional. Showers account for over 50% of hotel bathroom water use, but the IoT platform also surfaces back-of-house inefficiencies in kitchens, laundry, and plumbing systems — unlocking operational and maintenance savings beyond the guest experience. Notable Quotes "Water is one of the most vital resources on earth. And we all know that. And we rarely treat it that way because we automatically run a tap and it's there." — Carly Hunt "Reducing showers by just a couple of minutes can save 20 litres. And if those small actions become millions, then think of the impact that would have." — Carly Hunt "We always say that water intrinsically is linked to everything. We can't do anything without water." — Carly Hunt "We don't want to force anyone to change, because that doesn't work. You have to effectively give them the tools to actually do it themselves." — Carly Hunt Resources Showerkap Sustainable Hospitality Alliance (mentioned in episode) Shape the System is an independent podcast with support from KPMG High Growth Ventures More about KPMG High Growth VenturesScale up for success.

Send us Fan Mail There is a kind of heartbreak that doesn't look dramatic from the outside. It's when someone you love is still alive, but the person you knew seems unreachable. You've tried rehab, therapy, boundaries, and waiting. And still nothing changes. This episode is for families who have been through all of that, and are wondering what comes next. Mark Astor, a Florida behavioral health attorney and former prosecutor, offers a grounded, compassionate look at what families can actually do when traditional treatment paths have fallen short. From understanding how addiction and severe mental illness affect decision-making, to knowing when legal intervention may be an option, this conversation is honest, practical, and rooted in care. About the Guest: Mark Astor is a partner at Astor Simovitch Law and a licensed Florida attorney with over 25 years of experience in behavioral health law. A former Palm Beach County Assistant State Attorney, he now dedicates his practice to helping families navigate crises involving addiction, severe mental illness, and failed recovery. He is also the host of The Journey with Mark Astor podcast and has been recognised by USA Today for his work in mental health and addiction-related law. Key Takeaways: Waiting for a loved one to "hit rock bottom" can be a dangerous approach. When someone's mind has been significantly affected by addiction or mental illness, the family's readiness to act may matter more than the individual's readiness to seek help. Recovery is a process, not an event. Short-term treatment alone rarely leads to lasting change. A clinically appropriate setting, medication compliance, continued therapy, and a structured continuum of care are all part of a longer journey. Legal intervention is not about control. When a family explores court-ordered treatment options, it is because they are making a decision their loved one is currently unable to make for themselves. That is a form of love, not domination. The stigma around mental illness and addiction has reduced considerably. Behavioural health challenges do not discriminate by background, income, or status, and more people are beginning to understand that. Families who feel guilty about considering legal options deserve to be heard. Going to court is an unfamiliar and frightening step, and that fear is understandable. But for many families, it has been the decision that changed everything. Treatment does work, when it is the right facility, when medications are taken as prescribed, and when the full continuum of care is followed through with commitment from everyone involved.

Thanks to Imron Corporation for hosting this live episode of Stop the Killing at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, recorded in January 2025. What do a vehicle attack in New Orleans…a car explosion in Las Vegas…and a targeted assassination in New York… all have in common? More than you think. In this special live episode — recorded on the field at SoFi Stadium in January 2025 — Sarah and Katherine break down three recent, high-profile cases and reveal the patterns that link them. Because while the headlines call them different things — terrorism, explosion, assassination — the reality is much simpler, and much more important: They are all acts of targeted violence. And if we understand the patterns, we have a chance to stop them. A vehicle used as a weapon.14 people killed. Dozens injured. How the attacker carried out reconnaissance beforehand Why temporary security gaps (like removed bollards) mattered The warning signs that were there before the attack How planning and opportunity collided in real time A shocking incident outside a Trump hotel just hours later. Why this was not what it first appeared to be The role of mental health and personal crisis How quickly speculation can spiral into misinformation The difference between targeted violence and self-directed harm A calculated, premeditated killing in broad daylight. 10 days of surveillance before the attack The escape plan — and where it unraveled How digital footprints helped track the suspect The disturbing rise of online glorification after violent acts These incidents may look different — but the behaviour patterns are the same Targeted violence is almost always planned, not spontaneous The warning signs are there — but often missed or dismissed Prevention starts with recognising changes in behaviour The public plays a critical role, often without realising it Across all three cases, one theme stands out: Behavioural change. Sudden isolation Dropping off the radar Changes in routine, work, or communication Fixation on a person, place, or grievance These are the signals that matter — whether someone is heading toward harming others or themselves. Most active attacks are over in minutes The opportunity to stop them is before they begin Prevention is always a shared responsibility This is not about fear.It is about awareness. This episode was recorded live in January 2025 during the Imron Safety and Security Conference in Los Angeles, surrounded by experts, practitioners, and innovators working on real-world solutions.

Get Your Copy of Eric's New Book: https://www.oneyoufeed.net/book/ In this episode, I speak with Eric Zimmer— a behavioural coach, podcast host, and writer—whose work blends spirituality with the science of behaviour change. Eric is best known as the host of the award winning “One You Feed Podcast”. In this conversation, we explore: — Why lasting change requires both inner and outer transformation — How to move beyond shame and identity-based thinking — The power of reframing behaviour as a puzzle to be solved rather than a problem to be fixed — What it means to be “on your own side”, and how this fuels personal growth — Why self-compassion and accountability are not opposites—but partners And more.

Great innovation isn't just about what you build - it's about how consumers experience, interpret and adopt it. In this episode of Future Proof podcast, Dr Nicki Morley, Global Innovation Lead at Kantar, is joined by Richard Shotton, author of ‘Hacking the Human Mind', to explore how behavioural fuels and frictions shape innovation success, from identifying opportunities early to driving real adoption. Through evidence-backed insights and real examples, they unpack why consumers don't always act on good ideas, and how innovators can design with human behaviour in mind. Hosted on Acast.

What exactly is a sign?  At first glance, that might sound like a strange question. Signs are everywhere: telling us where to go, what to do, what not to do, and sometimes what might happen if we ignore instructions. But as my guest, Jeffrey Ludlow Saentz explains, signs are much more than bits of information on walls or beside roads.Episode Summary Jeffrey is a signage designer who works on complex buildings and environments around the world — airports, offices, museums, and other places where helping people find their way really matters. He's also the author of A Sign Is..., a fascinating book exploring the history, meaning, and cultural significance of the signs that shape our everyday behaviour.In this conversation, we explore why good signage is often invisible, how buildings “speak” to us through wayfinding systems, and what signs reveal about power, trust, and human behaviour. Along the way we discuss hacked traffic signs, casino design, airport navigation, and why something as simple as an arrow carries centuries of history.AI-Generated Timestamped Summary 00:00 – Introduction: why signs are more interesting than they first appear03:00 – How Jeffrey became a signage designer04:00 – The challenge of helping people navigate complex buildings07:00 – What actually is a sign?09:00 – Why “everything can be a sign”11:00 – The power dynamics behind signage and authority13:00 – How designers observe signage in the real world14:30 – Cultural differences in wayfinding and navigation19:30 – Why Jeffrey wrote A Sign Is..22:00 – The fascinating history of fire safety signage24:00 – Curiosity and the stories hidden behind everyday signs27:00 – Hacked construction signs and unexpected messages31:00 – Trust, authority, and information on signs35:00 – Advertising, nudging, and attention36:00 – Information overload and competing signals39:00 – The learned language of signs and symbols41:00 – Why good signage is “invisible” when it works43:00 – Airports, trust, and wayfinding design46:00 – How people become signage designers47:30 – How casinos, airports, and museums use signs differently50:00 – The psychology of navigation54:00 – Why signage can't work perfectly for everyone57:00 – Why wayfinding is an art rather than a science01:02:00 – Jeffrey's book A Sign Is and where to find it01:04:00 – What signs might look like in the future In this episode we discussKey TopicsWhy signage is a form of behavioural communicationHow buildings “talk” to people through wayfinding systemsThe psychology of navigation and spatial awarenessWhy good signage is invisibleHow casinos deliberately make navigation harderWhy museums minimise signs while airports maximise themThe cultural differences in how places are navigatedWhat hacked traffic signs reveal about trust in authorityWhy signs act as nudges that shape behaviourThe limits of signage when designing for large groupsHow digital navigation may change our relationship with physical signsAbout JeffreyJeffrey Ludlow is a signage and wayfinding designer and founder of Point of Reference Studio, a design practice specialising in signage systems, environmental graphics, and branding for public environments.
